A Dalmatian named Disney

A real Dalmatian! That was what my children wished for.
It started with the boy when he was in preschool and his class visited the fire department.
Over time he convinced his sisters that a "Dalmatian Dog" was just what our family needed.
I blogged previously about his homemade Dalmatian and the time he spray painted the family pet to create his own.
Their wish came true when they were given a sweet Dalmatian named Disney by a cousin who lived on a golf course where a dog at play was not favored.
She settled right into the family as we were known to her already and our yard facilitated her playful nature in a way the golf course backyard had not.
She moved to Dallas with us and was happy in her own little world until we had the area around the pool landscaped. When the fence came down, the dog went out. She never stayed inside the fence if she could help it after.
I went after her repeatedly until that day when there was no her to go after. Telling the children she's been run over was one of the hardest things I've had to do.
